Teasing

"What exactly are your intentions for coming to Konoha?" Danzo stared intently at Kaguya and said coldly, "Don't think you can fool that kid and get away with it."

"You think I want to be here?" Kaguya sneered, "Don't project your assumptions onto others."

"Still trying to deny it?" Danzo snapped harshly.

"Deny?" Kaguya's eyes flashed with a cold glint as she let out a chuckle, "Do I even need to deny anything?"

"I advise you to confess honestly," Danzo's narrow eyes gleamed with a sinister light, "Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Oh, I'm so scared," Kaguya feigned fear, placing her hands on her chest, then burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, "Do you think you can just threaten me?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Danzo said with a sullen face, "You'd better confess honestly, and maybe I'll spare your life."

"Spare my life?" Kaguya snorted softly, giving him a sideways glance, "Yes, you're right. I'm a spy here to wreak havoc in Konoha. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"So you admit you're a spy," Danzo snorted coldly.

"Framing me?" Kaguya's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes emitting a chilling glare, "Isn't that what you wanted to say?"

At this moment, Black Zetsu, in her loli form, was already standing in front of Kaguya, her adorable eyes glaring fiercely at Danzo.

Kaguya smiled gently and patted Black Zetsu's head, "Step back and watch me handle him."

Black Zetsu nodded softly and retreated.

"You're just two little girls," Danzo scoffed dismissively, "You should both attack me together to make it fair."

"Oh, really?" Kaguya's lips curved into a faint smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya suddenly vanished, shocking Danzo. In the blink of an eye, he didn't see how Kaguya disappeared or where she went, filling him with unease.

Suddenly, Danzo spun around, just in time to attempt a defense but was struck hard in the face by a pale fist.

With a loud "boom," Danzo was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing heavily and rolling several times before coming to a stop.

"How's that?" Kaguya asked, playfully flexing her hand as she looked at Danzo with a mischievous glint in her clear eyes.

Danzo clumsily climbed back to his feet, his face swollen and his nose bleeding profusely.

"Damn it." Danzo gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Kaguya. He had always regarded himself highly but hadn't expected to be bested by this young girl. However, Kaguya's abilities made him abandon his previous underestimation and take the situation seriously.

With a serious expression, Danzo locked his eyes on Kaguya. Suddenly, he stomped the ground hard, using the recoil to charge at Kaguya like a black lightning bolt, attacking with ghostly speed.

In an instant, he was beside Kaguya, his arm outstretched, delivering a fierce punch wrapped in a whirlwind toward her.

Seeing Kaguya standing still as if unresponsive, a smile appeared on Danzo's lips. He increased the strength in his punch, but just as his fist was about to strike Kaguya, she suddenly turned to him with a slight smile.

"Is this all you've got?"

"What?"

Danzo was taken aback and hesitated, preparing to retreat, but Kaguya's snow-white, flawless arm had already risen, aimed at him. Danzo suddenly felt a foreboding chill.

"Boom!"

An overwhelming force struck him, making resistance seem futile. Danzo's chest caved in from the impact, and a mouthful of blood spewed from his lips, scattering into the air as his body was thrown backward, hitting the ground heavily.

It must be said that Danzo was quite fast when he was younger, more agile than during Kaguya's previous encounter with him. However, Kaguya had also grown much stronger, and such speed was now inadequate in her eyes. Perhaps only Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God technique could catch her attention.

"Ugh." Danzo coughed, covering his mouth as blood seeped through his fingers, dripping to the ground and staining the soil a dark red.

"You can't defeat me, Danzo." Kaguya's bright eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement. In the past, Danzo had Sharingan and could use Izanagi, yet he was still beaten miserably by her. Now, without the Sharingan, he stood no chance.

Danzo's face showed signs of anger. The young girl in front of him had infuriated him. He couldn't believe that someone as young as Kaguya could possess such power; it must have been a fluke.

With a glint of cold light in his eyes, Danzo began to run, his fingers swiftly forming seals, and his cheeks puffed up.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets!"

Numerous visible air bullets shot from Danzo's mouth, mingling with a fierce gust of wind, rapidly heading toward Kaguya. Though difficult to see, these air bullets were as powerful as modern firearm bullets, as evident from the numerous holes in the rocks.

However, for Kaguya, they posed no threat. These jutsu, while dangerous to others, were insufficient against her.

Kaguya gently waved her flawless white arm, and the air bullets disintegrated, dissipating into the air. Air bullets, after all, were merely high-speed air, and a single repulsion from Kaguya shattered them instantly.

With another casual wave, Kaguya sent Danzo flying once more, his body crashing into a distant rock, shattering it into pieces, debris scattering, and dust rising.

With a "poof," Danzo's body lying by the rock turned into a puff of white smoke and vanished into the air—it was merely his shadow clone.

"You fell for it."

Suddenly, a low and familiar voice came from behind Kaguya—it was Danzo.

He appeared not far behind her, a cold light gleaming in his eyes, as he swiftly formed seals with his hands, taking a deep breath, causing his cheeks to puff out.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"

A sharp wind blade shot from his mouth like a white lightning bolt, swiftly heading toward Kaguya's back.
